Redlanders participate in two-day casting call for show pilot

REDLANDS - Producers with the History Channel were in town earlier this week looking for a few good Redlanders who best represent the city.

Producers held a casting call on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Ayres Hotel to shoot a pilot for a new program featuring local American towns at their best.

The premier episode will focus on Redlands.

Producers were looking for outgoing personalities, fun character, if people known around town as the "unofficial mayor" of the city, business owners serving the community and more, said a casting call posted on Craigslist.

Casting was open to all, it read.

Producers with the show posted the casting call over Facebook, Twitter and other sites and newspapers.

If the pilot is successful, the show will air on the History Channel's sister station, H2, in early 2013.
